Chapter 93
Luca’s POV
I leaned my head against the head rest of the car and dragged in a deep breath as the car started to
pull away from its parked position, slowly pulling out and edging backwards for the car containing my
bodyguards to take the lead first, before the one James and I were currently in, falling behind the first
car almost immediately… and finally, the last car which belonged to James, that was currently being
ridden by one of my guards, fell into lane behind the one I was currently in at the moment.
I sat up and leaned forward in my seat a little, signaling for the bodyguard who usually sat in the front of
the car beside the driver and asked him to turn on the air conditioner to the highest before leaning back
in my seat and dragging in another deep breath. The clouds were getting really, really darker and I
knew even without checking the time out on my phone, that it was already some minutes after seven
p.m in the evening.
I raised my hand up and ran it through my hair, amazed by the fact that I had successfully succeeded in
not running my hands through my heir or tugging on the roots, throughout the whole of the time I had
spent out of the house, after I had taken the sweet time to take care of my hair thoroughly.
I ran my fingers through the soft curls a few times, loving how the softness of my curls were feelimg
silky against my fingertips, and how the soft tips of my curls were brushing against the back of my
throat and the top of my face as well as cheeks.
I leaned into the head rest of the car once again and shifted in my seat, getting into a more comfortable
position and stretching my legs out to the furthest it could go, reaching up and starting to tug on my tie
in the next second. I loosened the offensive piece of material which was handing off my neck and left it
hanging off my shoulders, throwing my head back against the head rest of the chair and dragging in
another deep breath, feeling the air which was trapped in my lungs, vibrate and moved through the
joints and corners in my lungs, before I started to exhale slowly, feelimg the breath trickle back out
through my nose and slightly parted mouth at the same time.
I glanced sideways and settled my eyes on James who was currently sitting in a straight and seemingly Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
stiff position. His elbows were currently on his thighs and his jaw was placed in his palms and he
seemed to be deep in thoughts even though his eyes was currently wide open and he was staring
straight ahead, into the driver’s seat, in a very intense way, and it looks could suddenly burn down
something based on how intense a stare was, I was a hundred percent sure the driver’s seat, including
the driver, would have been melted into molten liquid lava.
I glanced to my other side and stared out the window, taking in the whole scenery and how the clothes
have gotten even darker compared to the last time I had looked out the window, which was like a few
minutes ago. Cars zoomed fast past our car, and based by the speed we were also zooming past cars
and buildings, I was sure we were also going at a really fast pace.
I moved a little in my seat and groaned a little in my throat, moving forward a little in order to stretch my
back out a little, and in order to get a kink out of the muscles back there. After a few more minutes, I
leaned back into my seat once again, staring into nothing and allowing my mind to start to wander
around.
I leaned forward and clicked on the black button which was going to bring out the dark tinted glass that
would demarcate the front and the car, giving us sitting at the back some much needed privacy. I didn’t
ever doubt for a day that the driver and the bodyguard who usually sit in the front together, doesn’t
immediately start to talk to themselves about something’s immediately the demarcation glass comes up
between both sides of the car.
I leaned back into my seat and tried to relax myself the most I could do with this amount of little space I
currently have, and with that, I started to slowly tap my feet against the floor of the car, feeling the way
the lower part of the car was slightly vibrating a little.
I turned my head around and stared at James who was still in the current position which he had been
in, for the past lines of long minutes which had past since the car pulled out of the streets where Ivan
and his cousin’s house were located.
I lifted my hand and reached out to him, tapping him ever so lightly on the shoulder to avoid startling
him, and he only blinked a couple of times before puffing out a deep breath, his chest expanding with
the intake and exhale of breath which he immediately started to perform. He lifted his elbows off the top
of his thighs and raised his right hand upwards, using his palm to swipe across his face and using two
of his fingers to massage his eyes.
I extracted my hand from his suit covered shoulder and leaned back into my seat, not taking my eyes
off him for a second. He puffed out another breath, a little sharper than the rest and the very next
moment, he was reaching upwards for his neck and starting to loosen the tie before anything else, his
fingers loosening the knots on the tie until both ends was dangling off his shoulders, and before I go
could start to speak, he was reaching behind his neck and tugging the tie off his shoulders, throwing
the offensive piece of material on the other side of his seat.
He turned his head around to stare at me for the first time since we got into the car together and our
eyes locked in the very next second. He moved his head around after a few seconds, breaking eye
contact almost immediately. I watched as he started to unbutton his suit jacket, right before he started
to shrug out of it as well, his suit jacket sliding off his shoulders and arms and in the next second, he
was discerning the piece of fine material as well, into the spot at the side of his seat.
He leaned backwards and finally laid his back against the backrest of the car seat for the first time
since we both got into the car together. He dragged in a deep breath and exhaled slowly and I find
myself unconsciously doing the same thing after a moment, dragging in a deep breath and allowing it to
slid out after a fleeting second this time, instead of keeping it captive in my lungs like I’d usually do.
I loved the way the car was starting to get really, really cold. It was a good thing I wasn’t feeling as sick
as I had been feeling since the middle of the week, at least I had waken up pretty early this morning,
and my routine has finally and thankfully returned back to normal, which I was really grateful for. At
least, this morning, I had woken up and decided to make use of gym, because I wasn’t feeling any way
like I was sick or still a little bit weak.
And so I had gone off to work out, spending a good hour in there and loving every minute of it. I had
taken my phone along with me this morning, into the gym and had first of all connected my phone’s
Bluetooth with the stereo player, and then I had gone into my Apple Music immediately.
My playlist was handpicked by me, months ago, and till date, I still wasn’t over that particular playlist.
And so I lowered the volume to a reasonable amount before I stared to play the first song on the
playlist, right before I placed my phone on an empty slot on the top of the high table in the guy, where
there guns laid on.
I had guns in every room there around the house, and it was all for security reasons. In case someone
tried to ambush anyone there at the house, they could easily run into one of the rooms and shut the
door immediately. If the bad guys get to make the door open, the person would have no other choice
than to pick up the guns in different places in the house and pull the trigger at the bad guy or guys
instantly.
I started to work out after that, working the treadmill and moving to the barbells after that. I refrained
from lifting any weights today and instead decided to get into a punching spree with the punching bag,
and then I started to punch the bag hard and fast, imagining that I was in a fight with an enemy as I
punched away at the bag.
Once I was done, I made my way back into the bedroom and closed the door quietly behind me,
glancing at Sofia immediately and watching as she laid in a particular position on the bed, her legs
looking like it was tangled with itself due to how it was outlined against the blankets. I moved deeper
into the room, satisfying myself with the look of Sofia’s face which was only slightly revealed to my
curious eyes, while the rest of his face was currently being hidden deep into the huge folds of blankets
which she was currently hugging to herself and stuffing her face into. I made my way towards my side
of the bed and was about to place my phone on my bedside table before realizing that my phone was
still playing music, and that it was still connected to the stereo player in the room where I worked out.
And after a small sigh escaped my lips, I picked up my phone once again, turned around and stayed to
make my way out of the room, closing the door behind me as I walked down tne hall until I arrived at
the gym.
I let myself into the room and headed straight for the stereo player and turning it off immediately, the
low hum of the music stopped coming out of the stereo player instantly, and instead started to play
directly from my phone, until I raised my phone up and turned it off directly from my phone.
I decided to sit in a chair in the gym in order to catch my breath a little, because I was feeling hella tired
and drained after the whole workout session. After a few minutes, I finally decided that I had had
enough rest and needed to get going. And with that, I made my way out of the gym room and shut the
door behind me, making my way towards the other side of the hall until I was at the other side of my
bedroom door once again.
I made my way into the room and pulled the door closed behind me, my eyes straying towards the bed
after a fleeting second and I took in her ehole appearance. She was still in the same position which
babe was in, minutes ago when I had made my way into here. It was more proof that she barely moved
around in her sleep, and instead laid in a perfect spot for a really long time.
I moved towards my side of the bed and placed my phone on the bed side table before starting to make
my way into the bathroom, quietly shutting the door behind me.
